Magazines are also hard to find and well north of $100 if you find one, so a magazine problem is a big problem.

As an FFL08 firearms importer, I have the chance to shoot every gun that I import and enjoy the priviledge of having a much larger sample size. I have over a dozen .22 l.r. Walther PP mags in my personal collection and have shot at least half a dozen Walther, Ulm PPs in the last month and had only a few problems where ten rounds in the magazine caused the top one to nose dive. The easy remedy is to use German ammo like RWS or Geco, which, imho, is acceptable for a pistol that was first developped in that calibre in the early 1930s.
